From my cousin Marge Lawson

THINGS TO REMEMBER ABOUT BLOOMSBURY
1. Foot log bridge across Musconetcong.
2. In the good old summertime--swimming in Musconetcong morning, noon and night--sliding down dam
3. Oscar Stamets homemade ice cream.
4. Old school with its wooden steps up to 2nd level. When demolished, kids attended school in old silk mill --now Kohinoor.
5. Graduation exercises for 8th grade students alternated between the Methodist and Presbyterian Churchs.
6. Students went to High Bridge for a day for final exams for completion of 8th grade.
7. Riding bus to P'burg High -- if missed bus in town -- ran over to Warrenside to catch it.
